We survey the state of the art of spatial interfaces for 3D visualization. Interaction techniques
are crucial to data visualization processes and the visualization research community has …

The focus of this paper is on the contribution that active touch sensory feedback offered
through physical or virtual (with haptic feedback) manipulatives, makes to students' learning …

For the investigation of chemical reaction networks, the identification of all relevant
intermediates and elementary reactions is mandatory. Many algorithmic approaches exist …

Background Haptic feedback has been shown to be an effective facilitator of the learning of
scientific concepts in a series of studies. However, little is known about the underlying …

This study explored whether adding a haptic interface (that provides users with
somatosensory information about virtual objects by force and tactile feedback) to a three …

Since the dawn of the computer age, scientists have designed devices to represent
molecular structures and developed tools to simulate their dynamic behavior in silico. To this …

This study explores tertiary students' interaction with a haptic virtual model representing the
specific binding of two biomolecules, a core concept in molecular life science education …

Scientific visualizations (illustrations, three-dimensional models, animations, simulations,
etc.) play an essential role in biology education, particularly when it comes to …

In this study, we analyzed students' reasoning and explanations of friction concepts before
and after engaging in guided experimentation with visuohaptic (VH) simulations. The VH …

This study investigated the effects of Augmented Reality (AR) on learning, cognitive load
and spatial abilities. More specifically, it measured learning gains, perceived cognitive load …
